2 For we like Sheep have gone astray, And ready were to fall; And God hath lain the load on thee, To give rest to us all.
3 Thy precious Praises therefore, Lord, Sincerely let us sing, And land thy Name with one accord, O God and heavenly King;
4 For all thy loving-kindness, Lord, And for thy truth divine; For thou hast made thy holy Word O'er all thy Name to shine.
4 For all thy loving-kindness, Lord, And for thy truth divine; For thou hast made thy holy Word O're all thy Name to shine.
5 Help us to praise thee, and to live Wholly alone to thee, ⟨p. 314⟩And not forget from whence doth come Our present liberty.
